A Gun for Kilkenny

Louis L'Amour brings you the Wild West as you've never heard
it before. This classic story, complete with a full cast,
stirring music and authentic sound effects, sweeps listeners
back to the rough and tumble days of the old West -- when men
put their lives on the line for the sake of honor, and truth
and justice were fought on the open plain.

A gun for Kilkenny

A dusty stranger comes into the town of Boquilla in search of
a drink after many hard weeks riding the trails. He enters
the saloon, and within minutes the town bully is dead on the
floor. Who is the stranger? Is he John Wesley Hardin? Or the
legendary Marshal Kilkenny? Speculation and admiration run
through the town like wildfire.

To show their gratitude, the townsfolk persuade the stranger
to stay awhile. All the free whiskey he can drink and the
finest hotel room in town are only the beginning of the good
life for this man, more accustomed to the cold hard ground
and meals of greasy bacon and biscuits.

The attractions of the dangerous stranger are also
irresistible to the pretty young women in town. But the
stranger's luck cannot continue. Someone suspects that he is
not who he pretends to be. After all, according to legend,
Kilkenny always leaves town after killing the bad guy. Why
would he stick around this time?
